Growing Up Poem


Growing Up Poem

Struggling to adapt to new rules,
Alice wants to grow up but doesn’t quite have the tools.
Filled with childish urges,
Her perspective is changed and with the “mad” world it merges.
Questioning her identity as her body changes size,
Her emotions often fall and then rise.
Alice can’t avoid growing, she has no control,
Aging is inevitable, as time takes its toll.
She sometimes feels lonely and even anxious too,
But searches for belonging and understanding as most children do.

Childhood is a part of the cycle of life,
Enjoy it while it’s happening but accept growing up, don’t let it cause strife.
